Jens B @Jens97 Jul 29, 2025 What "Arrebato" is about is both easy to describe (the director receives strange experimental films and loses himself in obsessions) and at the same time impossible to describe at all. While it initially seems to be about the passion of filmmaking, the film shifts to a drug story, complete with toxic relationship constructs, unfulfilled sexual desires, and incest; only to ultimately become a rather sinister horror film complete with commentary on the Franco dictatorship. I definitely have to check out the bonus disc and the booklet; maybe then I'll get some insight into the whole thing. What I can say for sure about "Arrebato" is: an incredibly fascinating film.

See more Mar 19, 2022 It's not always clear what's going on in the movie, but the movie is never dull. A surrealist tone interspersed with homoerotic tension, sex and opioid use generate captivating scenes. We follow the main character wander somewhat haphazardly before he is captivated by Pedro. From that moment on, the story is really powered by their mutual attraction. They also share similar but not overlapping addictive patterns. The story is also thus marked by use and withdrawal. The constant interplay between their closeness and distance mirrors the battle between use and withdrawal. When will the person blend with the substance and when will he finally be consumed by it? When will the two become one? See more May 4, 2020 Compelling set pieces and haunting images clash head on with extended bouts of artistic affectations in this hyper-stylized Spanish psychodrama. Arrebato's impact only deepens with repeated viewings. See more Jun 12, 2013 Esta cinta es hipnótica. Aunque nos encontremos perdidos en la lógica de su narrativa, "Arrebato" nunca nos deja ir. Su trama involucra a un director de películas serie-B que vive constantemente drogado a lado de su novia (una joven Cecilia Roth). Un dia conoce a un extraño muchacho que le muestra las cintas que ha grabado. Arrebato es un proceso que involucra una fascinación con algún elemento de la infancia. Es algo difícil de explicar. "Arrebato" es una cinta de culto, perfecta para una proyección de media noche y para ser discutida y analizada. Muy recomendable.
